Can Ripple’s RLUSD Become a Leader in the Stablecoin Landscape?
In recent months, the crypto community, particularly XRP supporters, has been eagerly anticipating the launch of Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD.
Recent updates, including insights from CEO Brad Garlinghouse, suggest that the rollout could happen within weeks, although the stablecoin is still undergoing beta testing.
A significant milestone in this process was the burning of 24 RLUSD on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and 64 RLUSD on the Ethereum blockchain, confirming that Ripple’s stablecoin will function on both networks simultaneously.
Ripple’s executives have also hinted at the potential for launching on additional networks in the future. However, details regarding the total supply and any limits on issuance remain unclear.
